Libertyville Train Station

This train depot was built at the turn of the 20th century and was located on the east side of Milwaukee Avenue near Newberry Avenue. Originally, train passengers boarded the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad at the old depot near the Libertyville Lumberyard on First Street. The depot pictured here took over passenger service when a western extension of the railroad was built to Fox Lake and on into Wisconsin. The Old Depot located at First Street continued to handle freight traffic. In this scene a steam engine approaches in the background and and a baggage wagon and Model T wait in the foreground.
